Since I have nothing better to bore you with today, I'm going to inflict some top 5 lists on you. See, I'm so frickin' full of myself that I think you have nothing better to do than read about my likes and dislikes. Of course, I am special. I learned that from Mister Rogers, as you will see in...

MY TOP 5 FAVORITE QUOTATIONS"You make each day special by just your being you. There is only one person in the whole world exactly like you, and people can like you just the way you are." - Fred Rogers

"A drug is neither moral nor immoral - it's a chemical compound. The compound itself is not a menace to society until a human being treats it as if consumption bestowed a temporary license to act like an asshole." - Frank Zappa

"Preach you must, but use words only when necessary." - St. Francis of Assisi

"Men are from Earth. Women are from Earth. Deal with it." - Anonymous

"When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years." - Mark Twain

I should probably note that these are not necessarily the 5 players I find the most technically proficient (though a couple certainly are) but rather the 5 players whose choices I find most interesting.

Well, of course the point of these things is to make you say, "Wow! I agree with this guy almost all the time! We are true soulmates! I want to shower him with gold coin and possibly bear his children!" or "Wow! What a weirdsmobile! This guy should not be allowed to reproduce! How could he leave (fill in the blank) off of that list?" or "Who in the hell wastes his time thinking about his top 5 favorite bass players?"

(A bass player, that's who.)

Feel free to leave a comment telling me where I screwed up, or telling me that I should be supreme potentate of the universe. If you post anything similar, let us all know and perhaps we'll travel to your place and continue the party.

I am, among other things...

My actual name is Jim Sullivan, but I'll answer to Jim, Jimmy, Sully, Suldog, Laroooooo, or Your Prescription Is Ready. Despite all evidence to the contrary found within these pages, I am a professional writer.
